Nuclear effective field theory: status and perspectives

HW Hammer, S König, U Van Kolck - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2020 - APS
The nuclear-physics landscape has been redesigned as a sequence of effective field
theories (EFTs) connected to the standard model through symmetries and lattice simulations …

The problem of renormalization of chiral nuclear forces

U Van Kolck - Frontiers in Physics, 2020 - frontiersin.org
Ever since quantum field theory was first applied to the derivation of nuclear forces in the
mid-twentieth century, the renormalization of pion exchange with realistic couplings has …

Using effective field theory to analyse low-energy Compton scattering data from protons and light nuclei

HW Grießhammer, JA McGovern, DR Phillips… - Progress in Particle and …, 2012 - Elsevier

Renormalizing chiral nuclear forces: triplet channels

B Long, CJ Yang - Physical Review C—Nuclear Physics, 2012 - APS
We discuss the subleading contact interactions, or counterterms, of the triplet channels of
nucleon-nucleon scattering in the framework of chiral effective field theory, with S and P …

Perturbative renormalizability of chiral two-pion exchange in nucleon-nucleon scattering

M Pavón Valderrama - Physical Review C—Nuclear Physics, 2011 - APS
We study the perturbative renormalizability of chiral two-pion exchange for singlet and triplet
channels within effective field theory, provided that the one-pion exchange piece of the …

Leading order relativistic chiral nucleon-nucleon interaction

XL Ren, KW Li, LS Geng, B Long, P Ring… - Chinese Physics …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
Motivated by the successes of relativistic theories in studies of atomic/molecular and nuclear
systems and the need for a relativistic chiral force in relativistic nuclear structure studies, we …

How (not) to renormalize integral equations with singular potentials in effective field theory

E Epelbaum, AM Gasparyan, J Gegelia… - The European Physical …, 2018 - Springer
We discuss the connection between the perturbative and non-perturbative renormalization

Short-range nuclear forces in singlet channels

B Long, CJ Yang - Physical Review C—Nuclear Physics, 2012 - APS
Continuing our effort to build a consistent power counting for chiral nuclear effective field
theory (EFT), we discuss the subleading contact interactions, or counterterms, in the singlet …

Nucleon-nucleon interaction in chiral effective field theory with a finite cutoff: Explicit perturbative renormalization at next-to-leading order

AM Gasparyan, E Epelbaum - Physical Review C, 2022 - APS
